Ingredients

The following ingredients have 16 Servings
  • 2 cups flour (all purpose or cake flour)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt**
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted & cooled)**
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips* divided (semi sweet, milk or a mixture, you can even use regular chips)
  • 2-3 tablespoons icing sugar/powdered sugar for dusting
  • 2-3 ounces melted dark or milk chocolate for drizzling

Instruction

  • Drain the ricotta in a sieve for about 15-20 minutes. If the ricotta is thick then there really is no need to drain.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350° (180° celsius).  Grease and flour a 9 inch (23 cm) bundt pan.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
  • In a medium mixing bowl beat together the melted butter, sugar, eggs and egg yolk for one minute, add the ricotta cheese and beat for another minute then add the flour mixture and vanilla and beat again for one minute, until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Spoon the batter (which will be thick) into prepared cake pan, sprinkle with remaining chips and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick. Let cool, remove from pan, drizzle with melted chocolate and or dust with icing sugar if desired. Enjoy!
